Introducing FootGolf at Fort Steilacoom!

What is FootGolf?

FootGolf is a combination of two popular sports, golf and soccer!! Now available at Fort Steilacoom Golf Course, the game is played very similar to golf but with a regulation #5 soccer ball instead of clubs, the holes are shortened and the goal is to kick the ball into 21-inch diameter cups using the least amount of kicks as possible. The rules largely correspond to the rules of golf (see rules tab).

Rules:

See the Fort Steilacoom Foot Golf score card for course route and tee box location. Wait for your turn. Make sure your kick will not interfere with other players.

Kick off your ball from a position up to two meters (6 feet) behind the tee markers.

The ball must be played in a single movement. You are not allowed to push the ball with the top or bottom of your foot. Your foot should be set separate from the ball, clearly behind, before each kick.

Wait to play until the ball has completely come to rest. (It is not legal to stop the ball from rolling with the wind).

Play the ball from where it lies. You are not allowed to move the ball or remove jammed objects. Exception: You may mark the spot and lift the ball when it may obstruct the other player’s kick or ball in any way.

The player farthest from the hole is the first to kick the ball.

The order of play is established based on the score of the previous hole. The player with the best score will kick off first on the next hole followed by the second, etc.

About The Course

The 9 hole intermediate length golf course is a great test of golf for both the beginning and experienced golfer. The smaller, beautifully manicured greens and the natural plains-like setting are a pleasure to experience with flat terrain that is easy to walk.
